Application

Mitochondria perform several functions in the cell, and dysfunction has been implicated in various organ systems and disease states, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancers. The targeting of small molecules to the mitochondria can help to probe and better understand this relationship. This bromohexane triphenylphosphine (TPP) tag is conjugated to small molecules to localize them to the mitochondria in cells where the TPP cations facilitate both cellular uptake and accumulation in the mitochondria.

A series of mitochondria targeted α-aminophosphonates combining a diethoxyphosphoryl group and an alkyl chain-connected triphenylphosphonium bromide tail were designed and synthesized, and their pH-sensitive (31)P NMR properties and biological activities in vitro and in vivo were evaluated. The results showed

The mitochondrial pool of Hsp90 and its mitochondrial paralogue, TRAP1, suppresses cell death and reprograms energy metabolism in cancer cells; therefore, Hsp90 and TRAP1 have been suggested as target proteins for anticancer drug development. Here, we report that the actual

Mitochondrial morphology regulated by fusion and fission processes determines mitochondrial function and cell fate. Some studies showed hyperfused mitochondria could induce apoptosis in cancer cells, but the relevant molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Superoxide (O2•-) and pH play vital roles in

The combination of CoCl2 and 1,3-dienes is known to catalyze challenging alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions between Grignard reagents and alkyl halides, but the mechanism of these valuable transformations remains speculative. Herein, electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry is used to identify and characterize the

We report the synthesis and structural characterisation of a new family of stable phosphonioalkylthiosulfate zwitterions, R3P+ (CH2)nS2O3- (R = Ph or Bu, n = 3,4,6, 8 or 10) which behave as cationic masked thiolate ligands with applications in the functionalisation
